In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

This is about as non-woke as recent media gets; The Enfield Poltergeist respects its subject and era, focusing on the story rather than using the supernatural as a vehicle for modern ideological messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Enfield Poltergeist is a documentary-style dramatization that largely sticks to the original accounts and character roles. There’s minimal evidence of identity-driven casting or forced representation; the story maintains its focus on the haunting rather than promoting modern ideological themes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series takes historical events as-is and doesn’t really editorialize about religion, family, or traditional values. If anything, it’s respectful of the era and doesn’t mock or subvert foundational beliefs. Traditional gender roles are maintained as per the real-life basis.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no noticeable attempt to villainize dissent or push any particular 2020s moral agenda. Conflicting worldviews (skeptical investigators vs. believers) are shown without caricature. Pluralism is preserved as part of the show’s skeptical vs. believer dynamic.
